Apartment managers said all the apartments have been leased, but the city blocked a permit that would allow the complex to let people move in.

The decision comes after two people died during the complex’s construction. David Dayringer, the Fayetteville fire chief, said builders applied to the city for a certificate of occupancy. The permit was turned down because the fire alarm and fire sprinkler system in the new apartments are not fully functional.

The apartments are supposed to be fully furnished for students when they move in this August.

All utilities and amenities are included in the advertised $600 per student rent fee.

The leasing office wouldn’t comment on when they expect to have their sprinkler system working to apply for the certificate of occupancy again. They said they expect students to move in Aug. 17.

On Wednesday, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the company $7,600 for a death on the construction site. OSHA is still investigating the death of another worker who died when he was electrocuted on the site.
